"There are by God more Washington lobbyists than tree frogs... with stickier fingers," says Granny D in Almost Level, West Virginia, a short Truthout film by Rebecca MacNeice. As the destruction of America's Appalachian Range accelerates in the mad rush for coal, activist Doris "Granny D" Haddock and former congressman Ken Hechler act as tour guides flying over regions of mind-boggling devastation.

Meanwhile at home in Sturgeon Bay it's time to tell Dave at Cinema 6... Don't Ignore 'An Inconvenient Truth'. Call him on the office line at 920.746.8371 and let him know you and forty of your friends would come see it if he manages to screen a copy.

Gore's film finished in the Top Ten in terms of overall weekend gross with $1.356 million despite its limited run, placing ninth. Indiewire reports, "...one of the most interesting statistics came out of the Dallas film-distribution region. There, the film opened at three theaters - Landmark's Magnolia in Dallas, the Angelika Film Center in Plano and the Arbor in Austin (part of the Paramount Classics' Dallas market). Exit polling showed that 80+% of viewers who consider themselves Republican said they'd recommend the film... two other encouraging trends are emerging. First, young people are going to the movie sooner than Paramount Classics assumed. Second, local corporations in various cities are calling to ask about sponsoring screenings."

"President Bush will be ignoring "An Inconvenient Truth" when the movie opens in the nation's capital, just as he has ignored the inconvenient truth of global warming throughout his administration," says Alternet's EnviroHealth. Gore is launching a book, a movie, and a new environmental group with one mission: convincing Americans that climate change is real.

When Florida's Gov. Jeb Bush (R) was asked by a reporter if he would see Al Gore’s global warming documentary, “An Inconvenient Truth,” he said, “No, I’m not going to be doing that.” He did see the latest X-Men movie, which he described as “excellent.”
